Consider a piecewise-linear position-time description of a moving object given by the points (0 s,0 m)→(2 s,10 m)→(4 s,10 m)→(7 s,0 m)(0\ \mathrm{s},0\ \mathrm{m})\rightarrow(2\ \mathrm{s},10\ \mathrm{m})\rightarrow(4\ \mathrm{s},10\ \mathrm{m})\rightarrow(7\ \mathrm{s},0\ \mathrm{m}) with straight-line segments between listed points. Find the average velocity during 00 to 2 s2\ \mathrm{s}.
